  • Also, try to weigh on the same day, same time, same situation, using the same scales. That may also cut down on any fluctuations. My Day of Reckoning is Thursday, right after kicking everybody out of the house, before i get my coffee, egg whites, and flip open the laptop for work. I guess routine is as big a part of…

  • I cut the tequila and vodka from my diet... I started adding up what i would drink every night, that got me to a good couple of 100 calories a day... So far better deep sleep, starting to sweat less after exertion, and am not seeing pink elephants yet ;-)

  • Yeah, the sodium so far seems for me the hardest to control. Even recipes i used in the past (all natural ingredients, no canned/processed ingredients, etc.) still gets me over the 2300 mg Sodium in a day. I guess i need to plan that out better, and see where I can reduce that. So far Sodium seems to be my achilles heel.

  • I thought i could take a "shortcut" and use Aldi's Millville Protein powder as a good source for protein during the day. However, it contains creatine. Did some searches on what this is, and came across this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC155510/ I noticed two days after starting to use this powder that i…

  • I've only started two weeks ago. Doc told me i needed to lose weight, otherwise I need to go on pills and other stuff. Don't like that idea. So, here I am. Sure, i had to go over a hump or two. About not being able to eat what i like, drink what i like. But i did spend time to search on what i am allowed to eat. I see this…

  • After a doctor visit i decided to also cut out alcohol. Using MyFitnessPal i started calculating the calories i was taking in just based on the tequila or vodka... And now every day i'm happy i'm not taking in that amount of calories anymore :-) Exercise, family, healthy food. Simple things in life.

  • Doc told me i needed to lose weight because of high blood pressure. I don't want to get caught up in the health insurance system to pop more pills to counteract this. So let's see if i'm in time to let Nature help me out.
    in What was your "moment" that pushed you to begin your weight loss journey? Comment by rolandmuts June 2018
  • One perhaps mistake I made - I started using a protein powder (Elevation by Millville - Whey Protein Chocolate Powder Blend) to get me more protein during the day to not get that peckish feeling while on a 1600 calorie diet. Before i started using it, every day / week I was losing weight. However the last two days since I…
